After walking through the powerful marriage journeys of our guests in the Why Did I Get Married? series, it’s time to shift the conversation back to singleness. In this episode, we’ll unpack why the greatest gift you can bring into a relationship is contentment in your singleness. Being single doesn’t mean you’re incomplete or living at a deficit—your worth isn’t defined by your relationship status.
We’ll talk about what it truly means to be fulfilled on your own, how to avoid seeking someone else to “save” or “rescue” you, and the strength that comes from self-awareness and independence. We’ll also explore the unique benefits of marrying later in life—like increased clarity, maturity, and stability—that can create healthier, more intentional partnerships.
Whether you’re single, dating, or just reflecting, this conversation is about embracing your season, thriving where you are, and preparing yourself for love from a place of wholeness.
